Transmetro and Aldenhill Subdivision Applications – Brandon Ward, Manager of Planning, outlined the applications submitted by Transmetro Properties Limited, Aldenhill Developments Limited and Edgewood Valley Developments Limited c/o Hughes Management. These are applications for two plans of subdivision with related Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments. The proposed subdivisions are in the vicinity of Blind Line and Hansen Boulevard.

The proposed plans would include 152 detached dwelling lots, blocks for condominium townhomes (approximately 70 units) and multiple dwellings (183 units maximum), as well as a neighbourhood commercial block, a site for a future public school, and open space conservation areas.

Council raised questions about the construction of the Hansen Boulevard connection and Hansen Street bridge, relative to the construction of the new subdivisions. Mr. Jones, General Manager of Infrastructure Services, indicated that the Edgewood Valley 2B project is moving forward and if all goes well the plan is to construct the bridge in the coming summer. It is likely to be 2022 before the road and bridge are complete. 

Additional questions by two members of the public concerning water quality and quantity were addressed by Infrastructure Services General Manager Doug Jones. Issues surrounding parking, parkland/conservation areas, and traffic speeds were also discussed.

Council received the report.
